As He looks at us today (and He does) what does He see? We can be assured that He knows us as no other and longs to grow those He's created into His likeness. But there must be one thing about which we make no mistake: Jesus knows.

There’s nothing wrong with a “troubled soul” for Jesus had one. “Now my soul has become troubled,” He said to His disciples as He faced the final days of His life on earth and the impending cross (John 12:27). But an unsettled heart needs resolution and there is only one remedy.

The great concentration of our lives should be to look at Christ. To gaze at Him often and early through His Word and in prayer. Ask Him to reveal Himself to You. If you look carefully, you will always find one more reason to run into His arms.

Any Muslim or Buddhist or _________ (name any religion other than Christianity) may read the teachings of their supposed master. But there is no mention of intimacy, for their leaders are all dead and gone. The relationship they carry with the founder of their beliefs is simply head knowledge. But not so with Jesus, our resurrected Savior and the Shepherd of His sheep. His promise is continual that He will be “with us.”

We are accustomed to human inactivity. To leaders who don’t lead, promises that aren’t kept, and people who are unresponsive to human needs. But if you gaze at Christ at any moment (both in the past and present), you will see Him doing exactly what is needed, always redemptive and exquisitely effective. There is no wasted motion, no sideways energy. Those with eyes to see are astonished at His constant activity.

Jesus healed and helped people everywhere He went. This authenticated His Divine authority over sickness and death, and demons. He even exercised authority over nature, calming the seas. He was Christ, and there was (and is) no other. But these miraculous works displayed even more. In each of them, we see the truth about Jesus.

Hundreds of years before Christ, the prophet Zechariah prophesied with Divine precision of what would happen one day in Jerusalem. It is a prophecy that describes what occurred and how it affects all of us who have become believers in Jesus Christ.

Governments are designed by God to bring peace and to protect the people they oversee. Human history has shown the dramatic difference between good governments and bad. Unjust leaders and those who lead with righteous judgments. Governments are always dependent upon the character of those who are in positions of leadership … and every human leader is flawed.

Moses recorded for us, in Exodus, Chapter 12, one of the most amazing moments in human history. Pharaoh had refused to let Israel go after 430 years in bondage. But God came with a series of judgments to show Pharaoh and the whole nation and the Israelites that there was only one true God. A God who should be bowed down to and served.
A final judgment came in one night as God took every firstborn son from the Egyptians households in death. But among the 1 million+ Israelites, not a single child died.
